Shaffique, J.
The petitioner has approached this Court seeking for police protection alleging threat from respondents 3 to 5. It is stated that the petitioner had married the 4th respondent and respondents 3 to 5 have cheated the petitioner. The petitioner had already filed a complaint as Ext.P3 before the police seeking for necessary protection and since no action has been taken in the matter, the petitioner has approached this Court. The petitioner had also filed a private complaint alleging cheating as against respondents 3 to 5 and the matter is pending before the Chief Judicial Magistrate's Court, Manjeri.
2.
Though the petitioner submits that there is threat from respondents 3 to 5, we do not think that any such situation had arisen, for which, the police had to interfere in the matter. The police can interfere only if there is any offence committed or attempt to commit offence.
W.P.(C) No.36688 of 2015 -: 2 :- Under such circumstances, we dispose of the writ petition permitting the petitioner to prefer appropriate complaint, if there is any offence committed or attempt to commit offence, in which event, the police shall look into the matter and do the needful.
